Careers in Research Online Survey (CROS)

The Careers in Research Online Survey (CROS) provides a platform to obtain the views of contract research staff on employment conditions, career and development opportunities at individual higher education institutions.

Since it was introduced in 2002, CROS has led to improvement in local staff review and appraisal systems, local induction processes and communication with research staff. The feedback it has provided to government has been invaluable and led to additional funding to institutions for research staff development, as well as significantly raising the profile of research staff both within institutions and nationally. Recently, the second Concordat to Support the Career Development of Researchers has been developed and RCUK has funded Vitae, which champions the professional and career development of doctoral researchers and research staff.
